The MacBook Pro with touch bar (2016) was introduced by Apple and immediately its new touch bar feature caused a stir, due to it replacing the traditional function keys you’d expect to see on a keyboard. The point of difference of the touch bar feature was that it was fully customisable, with every “button” being digital. This divided the crowd. Creatives adored it, seeing it as an element that helped with productivity, whereas some users didn’t see the point and preferred traditional function keys.
Since then, various models of MacBook have had the option to either include or not include the touch bar feature. Apple’s latest MacBook Pro 13” still utilises this technology.
Let’s compare the features of the first generation from 2016-2008 to the newest MacBook Pro with a touch bar that was released 2022.
